Our family was looking for a vacuum easy to push. Our old one threw my back out. The Dyson is so easy to push. My husband vacuumed our house before we left on a weekend getaway. When we returned home the first thing he did was put together our new Dyson & vacuum. I almost got sick seeing all the dirt picked up from the carpet. Our carpets are 13 years old with regular shampooing & we don't wear shoes in the house. I've never seen a vacuum pick up dirt like that. It even made the carpet look better! The only thing I was disappointed in were the tools that came with it. We did end up buying an additional rotary brush tool to go over small rugs, couches & stairs. Other than that I will most likely always buy a Dyson.

With a family in construction and 2 dogs, I had just resigned to having my carpets cleaned frequently. I had no idea that a vacuum would make such a BIG difference! I thought all vacuums were basically the same. I couldn't have been more wrong. I have had my Dyson for a month and haven't had my carpets cleaned once. They couldn't LOOK and FEEL better!! Thanks Dyson!!!

The machine works as intended and has very good suction power since I bought it in April 2015. It lacks extra tool for the floor that you need to buy if you need it. One issue I found is the need to try several times to lock the vertical handle before it locks securely. I do not know if the problem is with my machine or if it is inherited in its design.

Just bought my Dyson this morning but I already see a big difference. It just picks up so much more dirt then my previous vacuum. And even when the container inside gets full it never losses suction I just love it!

I have had this vacuum less than a month...Used the wand maybe four times...It has broken and piece is lodged in the hose with no way of easily getting it out rendering the vacuum somewhat useless.....Not happy....

My previous Dyson animal of 8 years finally died and I really didn't want to spend over 500.00 on a vacuum so I bought a Shark professional for 300.00--- I came home and used the shark and quickly realized what a joke the shark is!-- I immediately took it back to the store and spent the extra money and bought the Dyson! I am so happy I did!!! Nothing can even compare to this new Dyson! It is amazing!! Worth every penny!!!!!

I vacuumed my carpet with my old vacuum which I thought was still working pretty good. I was wrong! I couldn't believe how much dirt and hair came out of what I thought was a clean carpet. This vacuum is quieter than our Kenmore canister vacuum and it really makes the carpet pile look fresh. It's been a long time since the carpet looked this good.

I am very happy with this vacuum. I owned a Sharp machine before, and it didn't do that great of a job. I love the detail and design of a Dyson, and the instructions that came with it were really nicely written and easily understood. I appreciate the simplicity of it. After all, I am just trying to get done a household task that I don't really want to do. At least the machine that helps me should be easy and fun to use! Dyson does that job. Excellent engineering!
